Very fine. The barrels retain 97% original blue finish with some minor wear on the muzzle and a few minor scratches and handling marks. The remaining metal surfaces have a smooth gray patina. The wood is very fine with a few overall scattered minor dings and dents, and crisp checkering. The sling is good. The markings and engraving are crisp and clear. Mechanically excellent.
